Tag Archives: Sequin fabric at Emporia

Loads more luscious dress fabrics have been finding their way into the shop in the last couple of weeks, so if you haven’t been in for a while, now is the time to pop by and see what new additions we’ve got. The nights are definitely drawing in now and and we’re starting to think more about creating our autumn/winter wardrobe so all these babies are the perfect place to get inspiration.

Tartan is spot on for a little bit of winter brightness; it can be both traditional and edgy at the same time in the style of Vivienne Westwood. Go for a punky kilt or a bias cut long skirt, or perhaps bring a little of the Highlands into your home with some cushions or a warm and funky patchwork throw. The tartan is £8.00 a metre.

Our new wool blends also feature some plaids which you could also use for homewear – or create some amazingly warm trousers, or perhaps a coat. The soft plain neutrals are just as inviting – we’re thinking of knocking out a few A-line skirts in these fabrics to keep out the chill. The wool blend is £10.00 a metre.

Nothing is more inviting in the colder months than the option of snuggling up with something super soft and warm, so these cute fleeces are sure to be on someone’s sewing list. Great for kids, dogs, people – whomever! And the best bit about fleece is that is won’t fray, so if you’re feeling lazy, this is an ideal fabric to work with. The fleece ranges from £6.00 to £10.00 a metre.

One of our most exciting new fabrics in stock are these gorgeous sequins – not as good at keeping you warm as our other new arrivals, but perfect for glamorous winter evenings out. Try a simple cami vest top or maybe just use to applique onto a sweatshirt for instant zing. The sequins are £10.00 per metre.

Neoprene, like scuba’s older and slightly more exotic sister, is a fantastically durable and versatile fabric. Mostly used in sportswear, you can create all kinds of amazing looks with this non-fraying, stretchy material. Try out a bodycon dress if you’re feeling brave or maybe go for a futuristic take on a fifties style jacket – the fun is in the experimenting. The neoprene is £10.00 per metre.

All colourways and styles are available at stated prices at the time of going to print – look out for more exciting fabrics hitting our shelves soon!
